    Cyclic orbifolds of lattice vertex operator algebras having group like fusions

    Full text link
    Let LL be an even (positive definite) lattice and g∈O(L)g\in O(L). In this article, we prove that the orbifold vertex operator algebra VLg^V_{L}^{\hat{g}} has group-like fusion if and only if gg acts trivially on the discriminant group D(L)=Lβˆ—/L\mathcal{D}(L)=L^*/L (or equivalently (1βˆ’g)Lβˆ—<L(1-g)L^*<L). We also determine their fusion rings and the corresponding quadratic space structures when gg is fixed point free on LL. By applying our method to some coinvariant sublattices of the Leech lattice Ξ›\Lambda, we prove a conjecture proposed by G. H\"ohn. In addition, we also discuss a construction of certain holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 2424 using the the orbifold vertex operator algebra VΞ›gg^V_{\Lambda_g}^{\hat{g}}.Comment: The main theorem was proved in a slightly more general setting and the title of the article has been change

    A characterization of the moonshine vertex operator algebra by means of Virasoro frames

    Full text link
    In this article, we show that a framed vertex operator algebra V satisfying the conditions: (1) V is holomorphic (i.e., V is the only irreducible V-module); (2) V is of rank 24; and (3) V_1=0; is isomorphic to the moonshine vertex operator algebra constructed by Frenkel-Lepowsky-Meurman.Comment: 10 pages, no figur

    On the structure of framed vertex operator algebras and their pointwise frame stabilizers

    Full text link
    In this paper, we study the structure of a general framed vertex operator algebra. We show that the structure codes (C,D) of a framed VOA V satisfy certain duality conditions. As a consequence, we prove that every framed VOA is a simple current extension of the associated binary code VOA V_C. This result would give a prospect on the classification of framed vertex operator algebras. In addition, the pointwise frame stabilizer of V is studied. We completely determine all automorphisms in this pointwise stabilizer, which are of order 1, 2 or 4. The 4A-twisted sector and the 4A-twisted orbifold theory of the famous Moonshine VOA are also constructed explicitly. We verify that the top module of this twisted sector is of dimension 1 and of weight 3/4 and the VOA obtained by 4A-twisted orbifold construction of the moonshine VOA is isomorphic to the moonshine VOA itself.Comment: Version 3: 59 pages. Corrected version. 54 pages on my LaTeX system version 2: We add Theorem 5.16 in which we give a necessary and sufficient condtion for a code to be a structure code of a holomorphic framed VOA. "hyperref" style is also introduce

    Quadratic spaces and holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24

    Full text link
    In 1993, Schellekens obtained a list of possible 71 Lie algebras of holomorphic vertex operator algebras with central charge 24. However, not all cases are known to exist. The aim of this article is to construct new holomorphic vertex operator algebras using the theory of framed vertex operator algebras and to determine the Lie algebra structures of their weight one subspaces. In particular, we study holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras associated to subcodes of the triply even codes \RM(1,4)^3 and \RM(1,4)\oplus \EuD(d_{16}^+) of length 48. These vertex operator algebras correspond to the holomorphic simple current extensions of the lattice type vertex operator algebras (V2E8+)βŠ—3(V_{\sqrt{2}E_8}^+)^{\otimes 3} and V2E8+βŠ—V2D16++V_{\sqrt{2}E_8}^+\otimes V_{\sqrt{2}D_{16}^+}^+. We determine such extensions using a quadratic space structure on the set of all irreducible modules R(W)R(W) of WW when W=(V2E8+)βŠ—3W= (V_{\sqrt{2}E_8}^+)^{\otimes 3} or V2E8+βŠ—V2D16++V_{\sqrt{2}E_8}^+\otimes V_{\sqrt{2}D_{16}^+}^+. As our main results, we construct seven new holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 in Schellekens' list and obtain a complete list of all Lie algebra structures associated to the weight one subspaces of holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24.Comment: 46 page

    On 3-transposition groups generated by Οƒ\sigma-involutions associated to c=4/5 Virasoro vectors

    Full text link
    In this paper, we show that Οƒ\sigma-involutions associated to extendable c=4/5 Virasoro vectors generate a 3-transposition group in the automorphism group of a vertex operator algebra (VOA). Several explicit examples related to lattice VOA are also discussed in details. In particular, we show that the automorphism group of the VOA VK12Ξ½^V_{K_{12}}^{\hat{\nu}} associated to the Coxeter Todd lattice K12K_{12} contains a subgroup isomorphic to +Ξ©βˆ’(8,3){}^+\Omega^{-}(8,3).Comment: 38 page

    The Conway-Miyamoto correspondences for the Fischer 3-transposition groups

    Full text link
    In this paper, we present a general construction of 3-transposition groups as automorphism groups of vertex operator algebras. Applying to the moonshine vertex operator algebra, we establish the Conway-Miyamoto correspondences between Fischer 3-transposition groups Fi23\mathrm{Fi}_{23} and Fi22\mathrm{Fi}_{22} and c=25/28c=25/28 and c=11/12c=11/12 Virasoro vectors of subalgebras of the moonshine vertex operator algebra.Comment: 3 figure files (fig1.tex, fig2.tex, fig3.tex) include

    Level-Rank Duality for Vertex Operator Algebras of types B and D

    Full text link
    For the simple Lie algebra som \frak{so}_m, we study the commutant vertex operator algebra of Lso^m(n,0) L_{\hat{\frak{so}}_{m}}(n,0) in the nn-fold tensor product Lso^m(1,0)βŠ—n L_{\hat{\frak{so}}_{m}}(1,0)^{\otimes n}. It turns out that this commutant vertex operator algebra can be realized as a fixed point subalgebra of Lso^n(m,0)L_{\hat{\frak{so}}_{n}}(m,0) (or its simple current extension) associated with a certain abelian group. This result may be viewed as a version of level-rank duality.Comment: A mistake for the case n=3 is correcte

    Classification of holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24

    Full text link
    This article is a continuation of our work on the classification of holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24. We show that a holomorphic framed VOA of central charge 24 is uniquely determined by the Lie algebra structure of its weight one subspace. As a consequence, we completely classify all holomorphic framed vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 and show that there exist exactly 56 such vertex operator algebras, up to isomorphism.Comment: 26 page

    Reverse orbifold construction and uniqueness of holomorphic vertex operator algebras

    Full text link
    In this article, we develop a general technique for proving the uniqueness of holomorphic vertex operator algebras based on the orbifold construction and its "reverse" process. As an application, we prove that the structure of a strongly regular holomorphic vertex operator algebra of central charge 2424 is uniquely determined by its weight one Lie algebra if the Lie algebra has the type E6,3G2,13E_{6,3}G_{2,1}^3, A2,36A_{2,3}^6 or A5,3D4,3A1,13A_{5,3}D_{4,3}A_{1,1}^3.Comment: 27 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1501.0509
